"TRAVEL NOTEBOOKS: the art of traveling by painting"
Since ancient times, humans have wanted to leave a record of their journey through the world. Before cameras existed, explorers, scientists, naturalists and artists carried notebooks and pigments to capture what they discovered: distant lands, exotic animals, unknown landscapes. Travel notebooks were born like this, as a testimony to a world to explore and as a bridge between the gaze and memory. In this conference, Elisenda Ortega, with a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona and more than twenty years of teaching experience at the Escola d'Art del Comú d'Encamp, offers us a journey through this fascinating history of the travel notebook: from the first sketches of the explorers to the current resurgence of this practice as a form of expression and contemplation. After this historical journey, the artist will share a selection of her own notebooks, the fruit of years of exploring the world accompanied by her notebook and box of watercolors.

"VISUAL DIAGRAMS: relationships between art and travel"
A talk where we will explore the deep relationship between travel and the history of art. From medieval pilgrimages to the grand tours or contemporary globalization, travel has been a driving force for creation and transformation. We will analyze how art has been not only a witness, but also a vehicle for travel —physical, spiritual and symbolic— throughout time. Aurora Baena Garròs is, above all, an art historian. She is also a cultural manager, exhibition curator and works in the museum sector in Andorra. Social activism is another of her usual (pre)occupations. She tries to link the things she is passionate about in everything she does: contemporaneity, feminism and any topic that links art and society.
Free activity.
Double session.
